Get rid of the bumpers on the doors, new rims/tires and tints. You'll be set.

 

[nick122590]

I was thinkin about getting rid of the moldings... wasn't sure if there were going to be holes or if they are just stuck on lol.

 

[Csurane24]

They should be just stuck on. I've seen some chevys with rhyno lining on the bottom of the doors and around the fenders and it looks good and helps with rust.

 

[RICH17]

I was going to suggest the rynolining as well and also on the frame.

 

[nick122590]

it has the lining in the bed but you can see where it is bubbling and cracking. I was going to do that also since these gravel roads are pretty bad on vehicles lol. do you guys know what brand to use? there are like 10 I think

Find someone who does rhyno lining. It has a lifetime guarantee

This.


Im sure Frank will pop in. He's used a lot of bedliner [MENTION=1983]Outlaw[/MENTION]

I'm going to do the same with my truck when I have the time to go a few days with out it and have the spare cash. I'm going to do the middle of my front bumper too.

I can tell you how to custom color liner.

I did my entire chevy

Cold air intake

Tune and exhaust would be my first mods

Port everything you can

Mpg is the concern with a truck that big

I was thinking about putting bumpers on it since the year is tweaked a little with a small dent... or I might go that route... I don't like chrome

 

[Csurane24]

If it has the badge then yea I'd bring it somewhere. Just tell them you did it years ago and don't have the receipt

it has a k&n cold air on it. was thinking about putting a different filter on it so I can just replace instead of oiling it

I was thinking a baby cam and head work but honestly exhaust intake and tune is what I think im sticking with... when the motor goes its getting a cummins

the rust on these comes from behind. nothing you can do if it has seena life of salt. it's coming.

badass ride though. does it have a small body lift?

 

[nick122590]

Just do a cheap turbo build

 

[nick122590]

i know someone who has done 17 cummins swaps and would do it damn near free. plus ive always wanted a cummins chevy lol

 

[RICH17]

Damn than dont waste any time or money on the gasser

 

[nick122590]

ya hes pretty crazy about them. he can get everything for cheap and wont charge me much for labor. probably beer and food if im there helping.

Comp 212/218 "low lift" was a good improvement over stock.
